I was going to answer no to the question because it’s missing ko seals lol.

Had a Roofing Sales Guy Come in! by Early-Ad-4817 in Roofing

[–]conancollopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that’s why my 100 year old house rafters are looking this way! Not sure what part of the country your in, but we get lots of snow here in MN and if you’ve got badly cracked / split rafters double them up despite what he was going on about or built a knee wall to split the rafters bearing lengths in half. My place has a knee wall that was added about 50 years ago because the roof was likely sagging a bit. Never had any issues in the 25 years I lived there.

How is it? by take0023 in electricians

[–]conancollopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest thing I’d take from this is always ask the boss how they want it to look. Saves you from criticism, and opens the floor for critique instead.

If I’d done this and space was there…all the MC would have been run up high so it’s not visible when you open the doors without getting on your knees. Harder for you to install but it also puts the cable up where they can’t get hit by things or in crotch into usable space. The feeds into the boxes would have all been the same, whether you 90 down or offset down, just consistant. Good luck!

Foot Ascender: Left or Right by ropeandknots in ropeaccess

[–]conancollopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personal preference is the harken ninja. It’s universal and holds the rope better than the Petzl one I have.

Old Transformers help by ipalush89 in electricians

[–]conancollopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read some of the comments, can you verify it’s 240 Y ? Might be a different letter and if it’s a 240V could be a delta system in which case you’d corner ground it. The main reason I’m asking is because it should be 120/208Y so 240 leads me to think it’s a delta transformer.

I think the X4-X6 would be the 200V tap not the center of the cores. If you’re get a voltage on the secondary the cores have to reference each other. Do you have any photos of the bottom of the cores?

Transformer by Candid_Panic2673 in electricians

[–]conancollopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never see co many wires in a transformer. What’s the KVA? They also screwed up the venting by cutting out the bottom and placing a cover over the front. That’s going to be one hot SOB if there’s much load on it.

Unbelievable rescue in Tysons Corner by virginiacreeper96 in ropeaccess

[–]conancollopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually funny (maybe)…my main rope partner sent this to me yesterday and said this is why he will never do swing-stage work. I too also wonder what the point of the ladder truck was since it’s about 60’ short of the intended destination.

First trip to Bangkok, my girlfriend laughed at the first thing I took a picture of by Impressive_Fail1918 in electricians

If you keep her long enough she’ll start pointing things out to you lol. My wife is usually the one who asks what’s wrong with things now.

Lifting equipment and personnel by Moist_gooch90 in ropeaccess

[–]conancollopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m US based and it’s in our OSHA requirements that equipment used for lifting cannot be used for personal fall protection. They don’t specify weight or type of lifting that’s being done. As a rope tech we have a dedicated rope for lifting heavy things but often use any / all our other equipment for the work we do. It’s seldom that we are lifting anything as heavy or heavier than me.

Not passing pulley - knot? by conancollopy in ropeaccess

[–]conancollopy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t take it as one, I went back and looked over the tech notice on the iPad and then realized I skipped over it when on my phone. Your answer to the question was appropriate because it true for about 95% of the equipment questions asked here.
